Detonation LabsBehavioral security for the AI agent supply chain

Verdict

No malicious behavior observed

We ran it 8 times, with a normal setup, LC_MESSAGES and REQUEST_METHOD and SSLKEYLOGFILE set, docs:--format text --top, docs:--format json --top and a GitHub Actions environment. It contacted 60s.viki.moe. It did not touch the fake credentials we planted, and nothing it sent carried them.

1 finding. Scanned 27 Oct 2026 by detonator 0.5.1.

Findings

F01 Low

Network destinations contacted

Confidence
Info The package connected to these hosts.
Observed in
scripts:baseline

Description

Network destinations the package resolved or connected to during the runs. All traffic was captured by the sandbox; nothing reached the internet.

Impact

Context only. Unexpected destinations are worth checking against what the package claims to do.

Evidence

60s.viki.moe

Remediation

Confirm each host is expected (the package's API, its registry). Allowlist expected egress in production.

Process tree

run scripts:baseline

Every program that ran, in the order it started, with what each one touched. Red marks the path to a leak or a planted file.

Note

Observed behavior only. A clean result does not prove a package is safe. Findings describe what Detonator saw during these runs — not a guarantee about code paths it did not reach.
